WINDOWS BETWEEN STOREYS IN ELEVATION

Not applicable
There must be something I'm missing!

I have a window on a stair, drawn on Storey = 0, which punches up into the storey above.

For some reason I can't get it to show correctly in the elevation. The wall on the next storey masks the top part of the window.

Setting the 'stacked windows' parameter doesn't seem to make any difference.

Can anyone help?

Either put a hole in the upper wall where the top half of the window will fit, or do the multistorey wall.

Why do you have a separate wall on each story? A multi-story wall would solve the problem as well.

If you want to keep both walls (if, for example the upper wall needs its own window too) make the lower wall high enough to contain the window, and have the base of the upper wall at the top of the lower wall. Upper wall may then need to be Symbollic Cut, depending on Floor Plan Cut PLane

Thanks guys for these suggestions.

One of my colleagues had another method: he made the window oversized in the storey above, so that the space created in the wall accommodated the window from the floor below.

Of course this only works with 'stacked' windows (i.e. if there's no wall between the windows).
